Finished in Silver Blue (912) from the factory, the fiberglass body was repainted in the late 1990s, and photos from the work are provided in the gallery. Features include a split rear window along with a driver’s side-view mirror, electrically-activated concealed headlights, chrome bumperettes, and dual exhausts that exit through the rear valance.
The 15” steel wheels feature chrome hubcaps with faux knock-off spinners and are wrapped in white-stripe radial tires that are said to have been recently mounted. Work performed in 2015 reportedly included the installation of power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, along with upgraded front suspension with tubular control arms, Bilstein shock absorbers, and adjustable front and rear sway bars.
The cabin features twin bucket seats trimmed in dark blue vinyl with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets lined with Corvette-branded floor mats. An upgraded air conditioning system and vintage-style AM/FM radio with Bluetooth capability were installed in 2015 per the selling dealer.
A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilt steering column and sits ahead of instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary gauges, and a centrally-mounted analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows just over 88k miles, a handful of which have been added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The 327ci V8 was factory-rated at 300-horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The selling dealer reports that a tune-up was recently performed and the carburetor was rebuilt. The removed Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission is included in the sale.
Engine block stamping number 119881 can be seen above, and matches the last six digits of the chassis number. The “SE” suffix visible on the identification stamp indicates a 300 horsepower 327ci V8 with an AFB four-barrel carburetor and Powerglide transmission.
